d67 Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 You will find on Bill's (Beechbrook Cottage) PTE presentations download pages my last slideshow : No commentI tried to depict a SAR (search and rescue) mission as we sadly often have to do : a car crashTo preserve anonymity, the photos are not necessarily linked one to an other !The helicopter operated in this mission is an Alouette III. This particular type of aircraft was the workhorse for more than 25 years here in Strasbourg. It saddly (because it was very appreciated for hers "rusticity" and great possibilities) flew it's last hours last month before definitive withdrawal and replacement by a brand new type ; the EC-145 (bigger, faster, 2 engines and much more modern avionics).Enjoy... and comments (negative or positive) .... are of course, welcome.

Severn Bore Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 Just watched "No comment". An excellent, well-paced and informative slide show. Great photography and exciting music. As Ken said, a definite one to keep.Although this was based on a composite of events to maintain confidentiality, if the actual patient depicted was a real one, can we be assured he/she recovered from what appears to have been an incredible accident?

Severn Bore Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 Hi PatrickThanks for letting me know the result of the car crash. I feared the outcome had been fatal. As you said, this is not surprising in view of the degree of damage to the car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadou Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 Here in France, we all know this little red helicopter ; when we see it, we imagine that it is for a big problem in the vicinity...Patrick is one of these flying doctors , a good photographer, a PTE master and a fanatic of planes ! (and a good friend ! )Don't you think that it would be usefull to show this presentation to all the young drivers ? Or to the ones who have an alccolic problem ? I keep it on the top of my PC and send the link to my young friends !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or to the ones who have an alccolic problem ? Hello DanielThank you very much for your kind appreciations. Some of my photos are already used during training sessions for future first-aid workers and during teaching sessions for young anesthetists.I take advantage of these words to thank you for your invaluable assistance and your great patience during the "beta testing" stage of my slideshow : if it is such as it is, thanks to you !

paulnewsom Posted August 21, 2005 Report Share Posted August 21, 2005 Helllo PatrickI have just seen your slideshow. There is a delicate balance to be made with the presentation of a difficult subject, showing the rescue services and the tragedy.I think you did it well, honestly and sympathetically.Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
